Baking Instructions

Make the Topping of the Cake (it’s similar to a pudding)
– Separate eggs.
– In a pan bring heavy cream and sugar to a brisk boil.
– Let cool off a bit, then add egg yolks.
– Beat while adding the egg yolks.
– Warm this cream in a pan until it thickens like a pudding, and important is don’t bring to a boil.
– Cover the surface of the cream right away with a sheet of plastic foil. This prevents that a skin on top will occur.

Make the Base Cake
– Beat egg white until firm, add powdered sugar while beating.
– Add ground almonds.
– Layer a spring form (diameter 26cm or 10 inches) with parchment paper.
– Spread base cake dough on top and bake for 10 min on 150 C or 300F convection (175 C or 350F)
– Let cool off in the form.

– Roast almond slices in a non-stick pan without adding any grease until they are of a light brown color.
– Beat soft butter until creamy, then add egg cream spoon by spoon.
– Remove cake from the form and place on a big enough plate.
– Spread pudding on top and add some almond slices and powdered sugar before serving.
